Python + WebDriver — No browser launched while using unittest module

Question

Could you please help me with the next. I found out the issue and could not resolve it. When I am using next code, the browser has started and the test has passed:

Answer 1

I'm not sure as I haven't tested it but I suspect the browser is still opened from the first code. So what I suggest here is to use driver.close() to terminate the process properly once you get out of script.

import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('D:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("site URL")
driver.close()  # Must be there

Similarly, you can make modification in the test script to put self.driver.close() in the tearDown method.

Answer 2

While working through Python's unittest module with Selenium you have to consider a few facts as follows :

• While you pass the Key executable_path provide the Value through single quotes along with the raw r switch.
• While you define the @Tests name the tests starting with test e.g. def test_NoLorem(self):
• While you invoke get() ensure you are passing a valid url e.g. http://www.python.org
• While you invoke the quit() method within def tearDown(self): invoke the method through the WebDriver instance as self.driver.quit().
• If you are using unittest module you have to call the Tests through if __name__ == "__main__":

• Here is your own code with the required minor modifications :

  import unittest
  from selenium import webdriver
  
  class GlossaryPage(unittest.TestCase):
  
      def setUp(self):
          self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
          self.driver.maximize_window()
          self.driver.implicitly_wait(10)
      def test_NoLorem(self):
          driver = self.driver
          driver.get("http://www.python.org")
      def tearDown(self):
          self.driver.quit()
  
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      unittest.main()
  

Answer 3

In unittest, you have to put the tested code in method called

test_<custom_text_here>

Moreover I believe you wanted to quit the driver and not unittest? Try to replace the line

unittest.quit()

With

self.driver.close()
